Whistler Children's Festival is back

May 16-18

Fuelled by adventure, creativity, and giggles, Whistler's longest-running festival - the Whistler Children's Festival - is back for its 42nd year! The Whistler Children's Festival promises adventure around every corner of Whistler's Cultural Connector, featuring roving street performers, circus shows, science workshops and internationally acclaimed children's performers. Over the Victoria Day weekend (May 16–18), the Maury Young Arts Centre will come alive with eight show-stopping theatre performances and 11 creative workshops. Highlights include Juno Award-winning Norman Foote and the high-flying spectacle of The Rising Circus: Candyland. Plus, enjoy FREE activities every day during the festival—Bollywood dance performances, kids' karaoke, dance parties, face painting, drumming sessions and more! Get your walking (or dancing) shoes on and prepare for a jam-packed family adventure all weekend long!

FESTIVAL SCHEDULE

Kick off the fun on Friday, May 16, from 4–6 PM at the Whistler Children’s Festival Street Party! Join us at the festival’s central hub, the Maury Young Arts Centre, for a sidewalk chalk extravaganza, music, face painting, bubbles, and all the latest festival details. Tickets are now on sale for our 8 show-stopping theatre performances and 11 hands-on, creative workshops—all happening at the Maury Young Arts Centre. Plus, all theatre shows are for all ages, making them perfect for the whole family! Stay tuned—our free activity schedule drops at the start of May!
